Russia's promising nuclear submarine Poseidon is the deadliest torpedo in the world, Zvezda writes.
In the weekly, this weapon is called “terror from the depths”, the main advantage of which is “almost one hundred percent invulnerability from enemy countermeasures.”
The publication describes a possible future use of Poseidon.
“But there is information that this giant torpedo carries such a nuclear charge, which is enough to create an artificial tsunami with a wave height of up to 400-500 meters (!) When detonated near the coast. In the case of a coastline represented by a plain close to sea level, this means that the wave will travel about a thousand kilometers inland, ”writes Zvezda.
In January, Izvestia, with reference to the terms of reference for the implementation of the relevant work, reported that in June 2022 Russia would complete the construction of a coastal base for Poseidon nuclear torpedoes.
In the same month, TASS, citing a source in the shipbuilding industry, reported that by 2027 the Russian Navy (Navy) will receive the third Poseidon nuclear torpedo carrier.
